Sanctuary From Stress

A place to unwind after stressful days at work

Today ’s picture come from Rosemarie Hobelman .

Hello to all ,

This is my flower garden on the eastern knit stitch of Colorado . My garden change every year . I add or move things around . My garden is my sanctuary from a stressful solar day at work . While sitting in the garden , I get to watch the butterflies , bumblebees , and an casual hummingbird arrive to bask the garden . I keep good deal of water and birdseed out for the remainder of the flying creatures . I love to listen to the meadowlark in the other break of day hours ; it just start my solar day off with a restful mood .

My wildflower garden does very well on the northwest side of the planetary house . I plant an assortment of wildflowers every year .

Bright crimson yarrow ( Achillea millefolium , Zones 3–9 ) with pinkish veronica(Veronica spicata , Zones 3–8 ) and white sage(Salvia nemorosa , Zones 5–9)I candidly ca n’t remember the name of this rose blooming with delphinium(Delphinium grandiflora , Zones 4–8 ) along the “ hobbit ” fencing . The “ hobbit ” fence was my beau ’s idea . We had so many branches lie around from a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree that we decided to recycle . It turn out jolly well . The same corner the first year it was planted and my all - time favorite foxglove(Digitalis purpurea , Zones 4–9).This is where we sit . It is near our willow tree , and we read until it nonplus too breezy . The eastern plains of Colorado can be very bullying and annoying . I fag out an old pair of riding boots to garden in . They arrive in very handy , as we do have snakes around , although I have not come across any in my garden as of yet .

My fellow also ramp up me this pot bench and mesa from timber we had leave over from a previous labor . I found I do n’t need to spend tons of money on store - bought containers or pots . I use whatever I have lying around : an old wheelbarrow , colourful Zea mays everta tins , or honest-to-goodness alloy colander . I also visit a very cheap secondhand store that has a lot of country items .
